Chapter 1865: Chapter 919: Copper Skin Iron Bone (Part 3) Elder Master Xun pondered for a moment and said, "I do have a few of these types of legacies, obtained by chance in earlier years, but they are all the ’Copper Skin Iron Bone’ type, too low-end and crude. The materials are also cheap, not quite suitable for you." "Moreover, there’s a crucial point..." Elder Master Xun looked at Mo Hua, "Copper Skin Iron Bone places a heavy load on the body, it’s always practiced by true Body Cultivators. If you forcibly implant it, your small body may not withstand it..." "Is there one with a lighter load?" Mo Hua asked. "There are..." Elder Master Xun replied, "But such legacies are already rare, and to also require a light load on the body is even more difficult to find." Even someone like him, the Heaven Void Ancestor, found it difficult. A legacy is the foundation of Tao cultivation and the foundation of sects and families. In the Cultivation World, barriers to legacies among various forces are extremely strict. Stealing someone else’s legacy is akin to a father’s death or a wife’s abduction. Although Taixu Gate is a Great Sect, it hasn’t reached the point where it has everything it wants, especially such stringent conditions requiring a light load and wide applicability for ’Copper Skin Iron Bone’ type top-tier legacies. Mo Hua sighed, his expression a bit dejected. Elder Master Xun saw this and felt a bit guilty. Being of Loose Cultivator origin, he’d had a harder path than others. If his magical treasure is subpar, it becomes increasingly difficult to compete as he progresses. Within Taixu Gate, anyone’s magical treasure can be overlooked, except for Mo Hua’s, which cannot. The best and most suitable is necessary. Elder Master Xun pondered, "I’ll think of a way, ask some of my old acquaintances, see if they have anything suitable. If they do, I’ll exchange for one." Mo Hua was startled, touched, and softly said, "The cost must be high..." "No matter," Elder Master Xun assured him, "Winning the title of Array Leader and securing Taixu Gate’s ranking is something you deserve." Mo Hua still felt a bit guilty. Elder Master Xun suggested, "If needed, we’ll deduct some merit points from you, consider it as if you spent merit points to buy the legacy." Hearing this, Elder Master Xun suddenly thought that this idea was pretty good. Mo Hua’s merit points have become too "inflated," and it can’t continue; merely capping them without displaying isn’t a solution. It’s necessary to think of a way to make him spend some merit points. Mo Hua also felt relieved. As long as it nurtures his own Magical Treasure and enables Core Formation, spending some merit points didn’t matter, such priorities were clear to him. The purpose of merit points is exactly for this. "Thank you, Elder Master!" Mo Hua expressed his gratitude. Elder Master Xun nodded, after thinking, he said, "I can only try to find it for you, but whether it’s found, and how long it may take, are uncertain. It’s best to prepare mentally and leave some alternative routes..." "Understood," Mo Hua nodded, "Disciple understands." ... Afterward, Elder Master Xun sought a method to forge Mo Hua’s own Magical Treasure. But such matters have no certainty, nor is it known when accurate information will arrive. Additionally, even if such methods truly exist, they also bring along many other issues... Mo Hua researched and found that implanting Copper Skin Iron Bone is just a specific technique of artifact refinement into the body. True power often requires compatibility with other cultivation techniques, totems, or martial dao. Having the implantation method doesn’t necessarily mean the matching Taoist skill is available, or even if it is, it may not suit him. Mo Hua felt a bit helpless. The more advanced the legacy, often the more complex and profound it is. The requirements on various qualifications often become more stringent. Once over the main threshold, many smaller ones often follow inside. Mo Hua sighed. However, since the direction was set, there’s no need for second-guessing, just persist on this path. In the ensuing period, Mo Hua’s focus was on researching how to utilize the "Copper Skin Iron Bone" method to construct his own Magical Treasure. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖 He organized various difficult problems, proactively considered them, prepared ahead of time, striving for thorough planning. Preparedness leads to success, unpreparedness to failure. Several days later, while Mo Hua was at the Disciple’s Residence, contemplating matters related to his own Magical Treasure, suddenly his token trembled, and a message arrived. It was the Guest Elder token of the Demon Sect. Mo Hua smacked his forehead, remembering he’d forgotten about the Demon Sect. The main reason was, having already slain quite a few Golden Core Demons, eaten enough Divine Remains, temporarily it held no "utilization value." Moreover, he had more serious matters, namely the preparation for the "own Magical Treasure" before Core Formation, so he hadn’t paid attention to his "Guest Elder token" for several days. Mo Hua picked up the Guest Elder token and checked the messages inside. As expected, they were sent by Elder You. And there were multiple messages, unaware when they were sent: "Mr. Yuan, Lao Ba is dead, I wonder if there are any other spies within our Demon Sect?" "...Mr. Yuan?" "Mr. Yuan? Has something happened?" "Why not reply? Is there dissatisfaction towards our sect?" "Mr. Yuan... please respond if you see the message." ... Mo Hua touched his chin. Oops, seems I’ve been exposed, unsure if it can be covered up, if Elder You will suspect me... "Maybe... it’s time to stop playing with them?" Mo Hua mulled it over. Having killed Golden Cores, eaten Divine Remains, slayed Evil Embryos, breaking through bottlenecks, Divine Marrow near Pure Gold... His objectives were nearly achieved. On the Demon Sect side, it indeed seemed unnecessary to waste time further entangling with them. Originally, for a small Foundation Building Cultivator like him, continually dealing with these vicious Golden Core Demons was somewhat inappropriate and extremely perilous. It’s time to quit while ahead, withdraw as soon as possible. The task to eradicate the Demon Sect could be left to the Taoist Court, he just needed to occasionally "monitor" the progress, ensuring Uncle Gu doesn’t get killed. Nurturing his own Magical Treasure was now the true priority, it could not be delayed. However, before this, after all the effort, the final bit of "wool" must still be gathered... Mo Hua contemplated, then sent a message to Elder You: "I have been targeted by the Taoist Court’s dogs..." Soon, Elder You sent a message back, "Is that so?" "Is the gentleman presently safe?" Mo Hua didn’t reply immediately, pretending to be under investigation by the Taoist Court, treated it with great caution, and deliberately left Elder You hanging for half a day, then replied: "Your actions are too exposed, involving me!" Mo Hua took the initiative, placing the blame on Elder You. "My whereabouts have been exposed..." "Taoist Court has experts tracing me using Thunder Magnetism, I fear leaving any traces, only resorting to partial concealment." "If found and surrounded by the Taoist Court, certain death awaits!" Mo Hua didn’t lie, as the real "Mr. Yuan" died in this exact way. Elder You, upon hearing this, was startled and apologized: "Our lack of caution implicated you, sir. So now you..." Mo Hua did not answer him, again left Elder You hanging for a while, then said: "The situation is dire, I need to avoid attention for a while. Before that..." Mo Hua’s eyes narrowed slightly, sending a message, "I want my reward... eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"
